Nozomi Sasaki (佐々木 希)

Nozomi Sasaki (佐々木 希), previously known simply as Nozomi during her fashion modeling career, is a Japanese glamour model and former professional fashion model.

After working as a fashion model for nearly 7 years, Nozomi has become famous as a gravure idol and main ringside commentator / spokesperson for the mixed martial arts competition Dream Fighting Championships and the kickboxing competition K-1 World Max since 2009.

In 2010, Nozomi started her music career, debuting with the single “Kamu to Funyan” (噛むとフニャン) which featured rapper Astro and was used in the tie-in commercials for Lotte Fit’s Chewing Gum. Sasaki’s debut album Nozomi Collection was released on April 18, 2012.

After further intentionally gaining weight, Nozomi began appearing as a glamour model (gravure idol) on the youth-targeted weekly manga magazine Young Jump in 2005, and in the Pinky fashion magazine in 2006. She made her first landing on the top cover of Young Jump in May 2007.

Nozomi Sasaki released her first photobook, Nozomi, in August 2008, and her first DVD, Weekly Young Jump Premium DVD: nozomi, in September 2009. She released her second DVD, Dolly, and two photobooks, Sasaki Nozomi in Tenshi no Koi and Non, in 2009.

In early 2010 Nozomi was specially featured by 2.4 million selling manga series Usogui on Young Jump, and released her fourth photobook Prism. Despite Nozomi breast size which has been known as one of the smallest in the gravure scene, she became a successful model by the end of 2010 in the field where breast size is regarded as a vital factor.
